I gave a technical interview today and here is summary how it went . interviewer asked me to login to leetcode account then .

Interviewer :- "Open this problem( he gave link) and open submission section".

Me :- "Yes sir" I opened it and I have solved that in past .

Interviewer :- "okay so you have solved this one so let's move to next question(2nd)".

I opened it and again I have already solved that in past. Then he gave 3rd and it was also solved by me already .

Then he said " Okay now I will share with you this problem which you have not solved and I am sure ".

He gave me a hard problem which I actually haven't solved . I would have solved the first 3 , the 4th one was actually hard and I was not able to optimise my code on time .

sometimes life is really tough 😪. he could have asked anyone of them 😕.

    So the takeaway is to open a new leetcode account for interviews.

    Probably dodged a bullet. If they're that dead set on you solving leetcode problems instead of you're abilities as a programmer then it's not a good match.

    @iSwimInTheC read again, they shared another problem, out of leetcode.

    @aviophile funny you said read again but text doesn’t say anything about last problem being out of leetcode. I’d even say that you’re wrong, judging from how the story goes.

    Personally I cant handle the pressure of live coding so I would never work in a place where during interview they would ask me to solve some technical problem. Same like I dont want people standing behind my back and breathing into my neck while coding. I also don't understand pair programming.

    Send me a problem, give me a timeframe and I will do my best. If I have questions I will ask for your input. I want to be judged on my results, not by my performance while doing some arbitrary task.

    Thats how day to day work will look like (delivering results) anyways. Otherwise bye.

    You should have lied that you haven't solved the first one or the second one or the third one.
